Use of χαρις (αχαριτωτον/lack of grace) in Joannes, Climax (c. 7th century)

  

. . . βούλεται ὁ πενθῶν, οὗτος κάλλος πέφθακε πένθους · ἀλλ' ὁ ἐν οἷς ἐὰν βούληται· καὶ οὐδὲ ἐν οἷς ἂν βούληται , ἀλλ' ὁ καθὼς Θεὸς βούλεται . Πολλάκις τῷ κατὰ Θεὸν πένθει τὸ τῆς κει νοδοξίας ἀχαρίτωτον . . . (PG 88:808A)

 

"The one who mourns desires, but this one has attained the beauty of mourning; yet, not in what he wishes, but in whatever God wills. And not even in what he may wish, but in the way that God wills. Often, in Godly mourning, there is a lack of grace in human glory."
